You could go back to Home Depot and get some "Preserve-A-Wood" stain... several
colors available from almost clear to red or yellow/brown paint..
The stuff has been working great for me.. I used the "Pacific Redwood" (very
light color, mostly oil) on our redwood fence in 2001... recoated it once since
then and it still looks great..
I rolled it on the flat side of the fence with a large stucco roller and did the
inside with a "Hudson" type garden sprayer...

A high pressure washer will do the trick
